Composition for external application

Abstract

A composition for external use capable of more efficiently deriving the effect of purine substances (and/or salts thereof) including (A) sugar; and (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of purine substances and salts thereof.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A composition for external use, comprising the following Component (A) and Component (B),
 (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of glucose, maltose and trehalose; 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof, 
 wherein the proportion of Component (A) is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B), and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt %. 
 
     
     
       2. The composition for external use according to  claim 1 , wherein Component (A) is glucose. 
     
     
       3. The composition for external use according to  claim 1 , wherein Component (B) is adenosine 5′-monophosphate or a salt thereof. 
     
     
       4. The composition for external use according to  claim 1 , wherein the composition is a cosmetic. 
     
     
       5. The composition for external use according to  claim 1 , wherein the composition is used for whitening, moisturizing, or anti-aging. 
     
     
       6. A whitening process comprising applying the following substances to skin,
 (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of glucose, maltose and trehalose; and 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof, 
 wherein the proportion of Component (A) applied is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B), and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt %. 
 
     
     
       7. A moisturizing process comprising applying the following substances to skin,
 (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of glucose, maltose and trehalose; and 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof, 
 wherein the proportion of Component (A) applied is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B), and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt %. 
 
     
     
       8. A skin anti-aging process comprising applying the following substances to skin,
 (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of glucose, maltose and trehalose; and 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof, 
 wherein the proportion of Component (A) applied is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B), and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt %. 
 
     
     
       9. A composition for external use, producing by the addition of the following Component (A) to a composition which contains an active ingredient consisting essentially of the following Component (B), wherein the proportion of Component (A) is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B) and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt % based on the composition for external use;
 (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of glucose, maltose and trehalose; 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof. 
 
     
     
       10. A composition for external use, comprising the following Component (A) and Component (B), whose active ingredient consists essentially of Component (B),
 (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of glucose, maltose and trehalose; 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof; 
 wherein the proportion of Component (A) is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B), and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt %. 
 
     
     
       11. A whitening process, moisturizing process or skin anti-aging process comprising applying to skin a composition for external use, comprising the following Component (A) and Component (B),
 (A) at least one member selected from the group consisting of glucose, maltose and trehalose; 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof, 
 wherein the proportion of Component (A) is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B), and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt %. 
 
     
     
       12. A composition for external use, comprising the following Component (A) and Component (B),
 (A) at least one member selected from the group of glucose, maltose and trehalose or an oligosaccharide; 
 (B) at least one member selected from the group consisting of adenosine monophosphate and salts thereof, 
 wherein the proportion of Component (A) is 0.001 to 0.3 parts by weight per part by weight of Component (B), and the proportion of Component (B) is 0.1 to 10 wt %. 
 
     
     
       13. A whitening process, moisturizing process or skin anti-aging process comprising applying to skin the composition for external use of  claim 9 ,  10  or  12 .
